* Sacré-Cœur, Montmarte: it's in [https://goo.gl/maps/3uW7jUYEpF12 walking distance] from the hotel/office (about 2km, 30 minutes), relatively easy (but take a map on your phone), prepare for quite a few stairs at the end. You can stop at Pigalle on the way, once up the hill you can enter Sacré-Cœur (open until 10:30 PM) or take a look at the small streets of Montmartre right behind it. | * Sacré-Cœur, Montmarte: it's in [https://goo.gl/maps/3uW7jUYEpF12 walking distance] from the hotel/office (about 2km, 30 minutes), relatively easy (but take a map on your phone), prepare for quite a few stairs at the end.

Please read up on it to make an informed decision ;) Also, you can easily go to the Sacré-Cœur avoiding Pigalle neighborhood (which is what these routes should suggest) | ** Please note that although it's quite safe, Pigalle is a "particular" kind of neighborhood and may shock or make uncomfortable certain people.
